Men of Proven Judgment
In choosing his bank, there is one additional
thing that the prudent man wants to know in
addition to its safety equipment and facilities.. It
is the men with whom he can talk over his affairs
and receive sound advice upon them.
The executives here at the United States Na
tional are men of proven judgment. Their exper
ience coversj many years in serving the business
and agricultural interests of Marion County. Your
experience can be1 combined with theirs if you

deeds off shore find their, way but
seldom into the press. Regula

is 4 the rule violated. Only oc

aark night and i a comparatively

trade are good, r , -.Desperate
Stakes
The old lure or gold ill-gotten
gold, but gold, nevertheless will
assure , brisk activity. The rum
runner is a desperate gentleman
and the pay ia high.. The Revenue
men. on the watch, know that;
know well that they must be ready
to fight for their lives at any time.
The rum-runner may surrender his
carf o of liquor without a battle,
but he is far more likely to Indulge
in. a desperate gun-fight rather
than see bis boat and his profits
fall Into the hands of the govern
ment. ' -. ,
Smuggling by Air
- Nor. 13 the smuggling confined
to sea craft. Not long ago. a sea
plane was caught in the trade.
The machine had slipped out to
Rum Row under cover of darkness
and had taken aboard twenty-five
cases of whiskey. Then, still pro
tected by the night, it hummed its
way shoreward and came to rest
in a secluded snot near Blue Point.

launch had caught the hum of the
motor in the air and had followed
on behind. Locating the landing
spot, the word went forth" to the
coastal watchers. Just as the whis
key was being transferred from
the seaplane to a waiting truck,
the : government men arrived.
They surrounded the quarry in si
lence and then, at a given word,
p. glaring ring of flashlights pierced
the night. " The smugglers, blinded
and startled, offered no resistance,
and whiskey, seaplane, truck, pilot
and several huskies were corralled
by the law.
Another big raid -was pulled off
on the Long Island coast not long
ago when- a Revenue squad "on
shore surprised a gang of rum
runners at work loading contra
band liquor Into two trucks.
Circling through the darkness, the,
officer in- charge of the squad,
placed his men at strategic points,
and, at a given signal, the beams
of a half-dozen flashlights were
thrown upon the perspiring work

by. surprise and surrendered with
out a shot being fired. In the
space of the few seconds, the Rev

liquor.
'.. Bribery Stopped
Night after night, as the' prohi
bition force combs the coast line,
the rum-runners are beginning to
realize that the business Is grow
ing riskier. The old days, when
whiskey-smuggling was merely a
matter of getting the cargo off . the
coast, loading it into any sort of
a tub and taking it ashore, are
gone. .
: Members of the prohibition en
forcement squad who made small
fortunes "by accepting bribes from
the bootleggers are rapidly' being
weeded out., and under Director R.
Q. Merrick, Federal Director of
Prohibition of. New " York, and
other divisional directors, the per
sonnel of the prohibition force is
toeing the mark with, a discipline
reminiscent of war time days.
